In cases of great emergency as determined by the City Council, including, but not limited to, states of emergency defined in Section 8558 of the Government Code, when repair or replacements are necessary to permit the continued conduct of the operation of services of the City, or to avoid danger to life or property, the City Council, by majority vote, may proceed at once to replace or repair any public facility without adopting plans, specification, or working details, or give notice for bids to let a contracts. The work may be done by City forces, by contract, or by a combination of the two (2). The City Council delegates to the City Manager, the authority to declare a public emergency subject to confirmation by the City Council by a four-fifths (4/5) vote, at its next meeting.
